Analysis of clinical and pathological outcomes of sentinel lymph node biopsy in the SNAC Trial.
Sentinel Lymph Node Biopsy (SLNB) has become the standard procedure to assess the status of the lymphatic drainage in early stages of breast cancer. Currently, SLNB has replaced Complete Axillary Dissection (CAD) when the lymph nodes are clinically negative. The detection of a Sentinel Lymph Node …

Goggle Augmented Imaging and Navigation System for Fluorescence-Guided Surgery
… usually involves tumor resection and sentinel lymph node biopsy for cancer staging. Surgeons rely on their vision and touch to distinguish healthy from cancer tissue during surgery, often leading to incomplete tumor resection that necessitates repeat surgery. Sentinel lymph node biopsy …

Synergistic development of an engineered biodegradable theranostic probe and lymph node organ-on-a-chip to study nanoparticle-lymphatic interactions
The lymphatic system plays a vital role in controlling immune response. Despite this, cancer often reshapes the lymphatic microenvironment and metastasizes into lymph nodes. Theranostic (therapeutic + diagnostic) nanoparticles have been used in a variety of applications, including the detection and …

High-Speed Photoacoustic Microscopy In Vivo
… demonstrated through in vivo imaging of murine sentinel lymph nodes, microcirculation dynamics, and human pulsatile dynamics. In the future, this high-speed PAM technology may be adapted for clinical imaging of diabetes-induced vascular complications or tumor angiogenesis, or miniaturized for …

INSIGHTS ON THE CROSSTALK BETWEEN THE IMMUNE SYSTEMAND CANCER: IMMUNE CHECKPOINT MOLECULES AND LYMPHOIDPOPULATIONS ASSESSMENT IN CANINE ROUND CELL TUMORS
… of programmed death-ligand 1 (PD-L1) in canine lymphoma, (2) the expression and prognostic role of CD47 in canine leukemias, and (3) the characterization of lymphocyte populations in peripheral blood and sentinel lymph nodes (SLNs) of dogs with mast cell tumors (MCTs). Regarding PD-L1, the …

Bio-Inspired Multi-Spectral Imaging Sensors and Algorithms for Image Guided Surgery
… for a variety of clinical applications, such as sentinel lymph node imaging, angiography, and tumor margin assessment. With these technological advances, secondary surgeries due to positive tumor margins or damage to healthy organs can be largely mitigated, reducing the emotional and financial …

Experience using a small field of view gamma camera for intraoperative sentinel lymph node procedures
Staging is critical in the management of cancer. Sentinel lymph node (SLN) biopsy is one method used in the assessment of cancer spread. SLN procedures are standard practice in the management of some cancers although; these procedures have only recently been developed and refined. SLN procedures …

Advancing Photoacoustic Imaging Technology with Compact Source, Fluorescence Co-registration, Spectral Encoding, Matrix Detection and FRET
… biological structure (e.g., internal organs and sentinel lymph nodes) and function (e.g., tumor hypoxia and brain oxygenation). The ability of photoacoustic imaging (photoacoustic microscopy and photoacoustic computed tomography) systems, to render three-dimensional volumetric images relies on …

Detecting prostate cancer metastases - PET/CT and the sentinel node technique
… while choline may detect metastases in bone, lymph nodes, and other organs. Sentinel node (SN) detection is an invasive method that allows selective dissection of the lymph nodes most likely to contain metastases. The SN technique may increase the detection rate by identifying metastases also …

The detection of occult metastatic disease in patients with cutaneous melanoma
… that other anatomic compartments, such as sentinel lymph nodes, should be explored for the identification of patients at risk for developing metastases. The third aim of this study was to determine whether high or low plasma levels and/or activity of plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 …
